As GLP-1 medications like Ozempic®, Wegovy®, and Mounjaro® continue to gain popularity for weight management and metabolic health, nutrition plays a critical role in maximizing their effectiveness and minimizing side effects.

Whether you're just starting or well into your GLP-1 journey, this 7-day plant-based meal plan is designed to support steady blood sugar, sustained energy, and appetite regulation—while keeping digestion gentle and protein intake strong.

🥗 Why Go Plant-Based on GLP-1s?

GLP-1 medications slow digestion, suppress appetite, and may alter taste preferences. A well-designed plant-based plan can:

  • Reduce GI discomfort (like constipation or nausea)

  • Support lean muscle mass with plant protein

  • Boost fiber intake for better fullness and gut health

  • Minimize processed food cravings with nutrient-dense meals
